Civic Participation

EUniWell brings together university members and external partners to create meaningful societal impact. By fostering collaboration and making academic knowledge accessible, we work to enhance civic well-being across our regions. Join us in turning ideas into actions that drive positive change and benefit our communities.

Turning knowledge into community impact

EUniWell is co-creating initiatives that bring together students, researchers, educators, and staff from inside our universities with those outside, such as public authorities, hospitals, schools, businesses and wider community organisations. By fostering collaboration and making academic knowledge accessible, we work to enhance civic well-being across our regions. To drive these changes effectively, EUniWell employs several key approaches:

  1. Providing training to university members to increase their impact on society.
  2. Making academic knowledge accessible to wider society and contributing to shaping regional policy.
  3. Expanding the boundaries of our campuses by inviting external stakeholders to contribute to and collaborate with EUniWell initiatives.
  4. Measuring, monitoring, and evaluating the contributions of EUniWell initiatives on regional well-being.

How to get involved

There are a number of initiatives which are aimed at promoting Civic Engagement:

  • A Civic Engagement Platform is being developed to create a digital meeting space for external stakeholders and university initiatives from all EUniWell universities. 
  • Mayors’ Meetings bring together local decision-makers and university representatives across the EUniWell cities, discussing and learning from each other about social, environmental, and cultural well-being.
  • Our School Ambassador Programme features university students from diverse backgrounds who engage with local schools to inspire young people, highlight educational opportunities, and share their higher education experiences, promoting social diversity and lifelong learning. The programme also produces the EUniCast, a student-driven cross-alliance podcast.
  • The Service Learning Programme offers annual co-creational courses for students from all EUniWell campuses. The courses are offered in cooperation with local stakeholders and NGOs.
